The Leafs top guys just don't seem to be able to get to another level when it comes to the playoffs. Watching guys like MacKinnon, McDavid, Makar, Crosby these guys get to another level in the playoffs. I have never seen that with Matthews, Nylander or Marner. You can bring in 3rd and 4th liners with more grit but if your top guys (who get most of the minutes) are not raising their game then I don't think you are going to be successful.

It's what us here and probably most of the hockey world have been saying for years - they're too top heavy. On a related note, in a sadistic way, I find it very funny that Tavares chose the Loafs over us...how's that working out for ya, Johnny? Taking on Tavares and paying him 80 mil , leaving no room to re up Hyman after he handed out the Matthews Marner Nylander contracts screwed them in building a proper team . We were close in the running as well and glad we lost . I am glad too, not sure he's bringing anywhere close to bang for his buck.

Nobody is holding them accountable is there biggest problem, Tavares isn’t a good leader and his media puts Me to sleep.

Really interesting hearing that St. Louis was waiting to see how the Bruins vs Leafs series turned out because they had interest in hiring Monty . When the Bruins won they decided to move on .

The Hickey News have been discussing if they should suspend players for intent to injure. If there ever was an example this is the one. The elbow coming out like that is intent for sure.

I hear Trouba was pissed because he felt that Necas ducked. I find that laughable. If he’s going to try to take someone’s head off he deserves to look stupid and I wouldn’t care if he was hurt either. You’re supposed to check to separate a person from the puck not to decapitate. I’d duck too, fuck Trouba!

Leafs make the Keefe firing official (I thought Pasta actually fired him with the OT winner in Game 7 lol). I bet Berube slides in there now.

I honestly believe they could hire Scotty Bowman in his prime and the results will be the same. They need better roster management more than they do a good/great coach.

Yeah changing the coach is always the easy move. I think they are a little bit stuck heading into next year. The general thought around Toronto is they can trade Marner for a boatload but with a NMC he basically decides when and where he goes (if at all) and the return is not going to be full value like Leafs fans think it is. I don't think Berube is really the right style of coach for them either so I hope they hire him haha.

Sheldon Keefe was the 5th-longest tenured coach in the NHL. The top 5 now: 1. Jon Cooper (since March 2013) #GoBolts 2. Mike Sullivan (since December 2015) #LetsGoPens 3. Jared Bednar (since August 2016) #GoAvsGo 4. Rod Brind’Amour (since May 2018) #CauseChaos 5. Martin St. Louis (since February 2022) #GoHabsGo
